Will present review as pointers.

1 - We are Diamond members. 2 - Have sailed Radiance once before and loved it - thus one reason we chose this cruise. 3 - Activities were the worse I have ever experienced - wait, let me rephrase this - the activities were not bad, but the scheduling of such were done with very little thought to the passenger. One example would be bean tossing at 6 PM - another would be the talent show at 12:15. These are time when people are getting ready to eat. I do believe that the cruise director should have stuck with his original profession, which is a personal trainer - or give him a course on scheduling. Very disappointing. 4 - Our stateroom was wonderful - no complaints, and we would choose this cabin again. 5 - Dining was no more than a 4 out of 10 - I cannot remember other than one meal that was memorable. The buffet was average. The Seaview Cafe was a highlight. The real plus to dining were the waiters and assistant waiters - they were first class. RCCL needs to revamp their menu, and also make more friendly readable - I found it rather confusing to read. We were on My Time Dining, and that in itself, is a farce. We had two choices - 6 or 7:45 - case closed. We like a table for two - perhaps that was the problem. This needs a second look by RCCL. 6 - Entertainment was no more than average. Actually, perhaps a bit less than average. 7 - Disembarcation - as Diamond members, we were assigned an area that would have coffee - juice - pastries. We were to be there at 8 - were there - ran out of juice. We were also told we would be escorted from this area - no way - if RCCL tell you something,and you comply, they should follow up - not in this case - make your own way.

Cabin D1

Very large cabin - plenty of storage space - bathroom could have been better planned for storing toiletries - balcony excellent.
